I work with computers which are binary logic and math engines. Our standard answer is "It's all ones and zeros."

Here's another "math" question for you...

The statement below is True.

The statement above is False.

Which statement is correct?

Heres another answer to the tribe question.

Ask the tribesman if it is raining. You will then know which tribe he belongs to.

I think it's the second one.... but then, it's early.

jrs_dodge - I believe the problem only allows one question. So if you determine which tribe the native is from by inquiring about the weather, that's your question and you still haven't determined which path is safe.

Most of us guys don't ask directions! We just push the go pedal and see where it takes us

Ahhhh....that would definitely work....although you would probably want to provide a specific location when you ask the question....because SOMEWHERE it is raining.

I'd tell him to turn around otherwise it becomes a game of "eat the flesh before the flesh eats you"

Ask him which direction you would go to return the "fork" that was in the road. Obviously, it belongs to the cannibals.

Cannibals are the only ones that can play with their food before dinner.
